DoorDash agreed on October 29 to acquire Instacart's parent, Maplebear, for $65 a share in cash and stock, about $17 billion. CNBC reports the price is an 11% premium to Instacart's October 28 close and about 26% above its October 22 close, before reports of a possible sale surfaced. The companies expect the deal to close at the end of 2027 or early 2028; DoorDash plans to keep Instacart's brand, app and enterprise technology products, and the two will operate separately until then.

DoorDash also reported third-quarter revenue of $4.62 billion and adjusted earnings of $1.06 a share, both above estimates, with orders up 28% to 993 million. DoorDash shares rose more than 6% in morning trading, while Instacart traded near flat. CNBC notes Instacart agreed in December to pay $60 million to settle FTC allegations about its advertising.
